10 10 15: Fighting for Access to Medical Records

Flying Vet’s court case adjourned for another 2 weeks –
as well as his hip operation?

In his desperate and persistent attempts to get access to his medical records, Maurice J Kirk is demonstrating outside the Welsh Assembly today and on Monday at 11am. Anybody able to support him morally through physical presence will be rewarded with lunch!

In his case before Cardiff County Court, Maurice Kirk, the Flying Vet,[i] charges South Wales Police with countless false imprisonments, malicious prosecutions and failure to investigate crimes against him, his family, surgery and law courts, in particular, the court of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons. However, his hip replacement, scheduled for July 22nd, is still awaiting the release of medical reports by the Police’s Psychiatric Clinic in Bridgend. Meanwhile he is on morphine sulphate and other pain killers.

HH Judge Seys Llewellyn QC adjourned the trial for two weeks. The judge has stressed the unusual aspects of the case which, due to its complexity, is planned to last for 10 weeks.

While Mr Kirk’s emails are blocked by Cardiff courts, he has asked 15 questions[ii] to the Court Managers in Cardiff, Swansea and Newport via his McKenzie Friends. They are lay legal assistants to litigants in person.

Mr Kirk has been jailed 20 times and spent 12 weeks in Caswell Clinic, where he was diagnosed with supposedly incurable brain damage and possibly cancer. These medical records are now required by his surgeons for an urgent hip replacement. The judge, while every day counts in terms of pain, health and long-term effects of medication.

“We have been following your ‘trials and tribulations’ with some sadness here in Florida. So sad that your own country men would treat one of the last true British Explorers with such cruelty and stupidity. Please know that at least all the tail dragger pilots in the world are rooting for sanity to prevail in your case.” Tom Frohne, Florida[iii]
